Why is a new volunteering platform needed?

There is a huge appetite for volunteering and many people are eager to help where they can. Despite this, volunteering in Britain has been declining for years in part due to an over reliance on the older generations and many charities are struggling to recruit the support they need. One major barrier is that finding opportunities that fit modern lifestyles can be difficult.

GoVo aims to solve this by:

• Giving volunteers access to roles that match their interests, availability, and skills.

• Providing charities with a simpler way to recruit new, task-ready volunteers.

• Making volunteering easier, faster, and more flexible for everyone.

By reducing friction and removing repetitive steps, we can unlock a wider pool of people who are keen to help but can't find a role that is flexible enough to suit their lifestyle.
